Advertisement Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Hi aj55, Take a look here coding CV15. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
@bumac Posted September 30, 2007 Share #2 Posted September 30, 2007 I do not code my CV 15. It works well without. I think you need it only for fotos of persons with black clothes on. And the 15 is no lens for making portraits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cme4brain Posted September 30, 2007 Share #3 Posted September 30, 2007 Can anyone tell me why I should use a filter and code the lens?(I know I have already put this photo in a thread) I agree. My CV15 is not filtered. I don't want to have to fiddle with an IR cut filter. I do code it and telll the camera that the IR filter is "OFF", in hopes of some brightness vignetting correction.

I do code it and telll the camera that the IR filter is "OFF", in hopes of some brightness vignetting correction. Interesting statement. Telling the camera that the IR filter is "OFF", does that imply that you tell the camera lens detection is "ON"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted September 30, 2007 Share #6 Posted September 30, 2007 You'll only need to filter/code the lens if you photograph people, clothes made from synthetic material or foliage. If you don't shoot any of those then you'll be ok without filter or coding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj55 Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted September 30, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I seem to notice a magenta tint, as I do with my CV15 uncoded and unfiltered... don't you? Not on my screen, which is "calibrated" to match my Epson 2100 prints. Lloyd, vignetting is easier to compensate with the RAW converter (Lightroom). Which I didn't do on this picture though.

cme4brain Posted September 30, 2007 Share #10 Posted September 30, 2007 I seem to notice a magenta tint, as I do with my CV15 uncoded and unfiltered... don't you? yes, if you tell the camera (via the menu option) that your lens coding detection is "ON + IR" then the camera will compensate for the cyan vignetting/drift from the IR filter with a compensatory magenta cast in the picture corners. You have to select the option in the menu of lens coding of "ON" only, or turn it off altogether, to prevent the magenta corners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't shoot any of those then you'll be ok without filter or coding. That of course being a universally-applicable statement to any lens on the M8.
